Productive with a side of perfectionism.

WhatsApp divorce: What UAE law says about ending marriage over chat
Question: I am a working lady from an Asian country. I am living alone here, and my husband is in his home country. Due to personal differences, he sent me a divorce in a voice note on WhatsApp. Please let me know what the UAE law says about divorce on WhatsApp. Answer: It is assumed that you and your husband are Muslims, and earlier your husband was a resident of the UAE. Furthermore, it is assumed that you intend to accept the divorce pronounced by your husband. In the UAE, a divorce is defined as the dissolution of the marriage contract by the will of a husband through words indicating such separation. This is in accordance with Article 53 of the UAE Personal Status Law, which states, 'Divorce is the dissolution of the marriage contract by the will of the husband through the word indicating it. There are two types of these words: 1. Explicitly, which is the word of divorce or a derivative thereof. Metaphorically, which is a word that may mean divorce or something else if the husband intends to divorce by it.' A divorce is recognised in the UAE if a husband pronounces it to his wife either by speech or writing. This is in accordance with Article 54(1) of the UAE Personal Status Law, which states, 'Divorce is pronounced by the husband by speech or writing by any means, and if he is unable to do either, then by a comprehensible signal.' However, a husband is required to document the divorce in the competent court within 15 days of the pronouncement of divorce. This is in accordance with the Article 58 (1) of the UAE Personal Status Law, 'The husband shall document the divorce before the competent court within a maximum period of (15) fifteen days from the date of its occurrence, and this does not prejudice the wife's right to file a case to prove the divorce.' An individual may file a civil or personal case against his or her spouse, even though the spouse does not have residency in the UAE. This is in accordance with Article 4(2) of the UAE Personal Status Law and Article 20(4) of the UAE Civil Procedure Code, which reads as follows: Article 4(2) of the UAE Personal Status Law - Competence of Courts in Cases Filed Against a Foreigner Who Has No Domicile in the State 'If the case is related to a request to revoke or annul a marriage contract, or to divorce or repudiation, and the case is filed by a state citizen wife or a wife who has lost the citizenship of the state, provided that she has a domicile or place of residence in the state, or if it is filed by a wife who has a domicile or place of residence in the state against her husband who had a domicile, place of residence or place of work in the state, provided that the husband has abandoned his wife and made his domicile or place of residence or place of work abroad, has been deported from the state or if his domicile abroad is unknown.' Article 20 (4) of the UAE Civil Procedure Code 'The courts shall have jurisdiction over a foreigner who has no place of residence or domicile in the State in the following case: - If the legal proceeding is instituted by a wife who has a place of residence in the state against her husband who had a place of residence therein'. Additionally, a notarised foreign document may be enforced in the UAE. This is in accordance with Article 224 under Chapter 4 of Execution of Foreign Judgments, Orders and Instruments of the UAE Civil Procedure Code, which states, '1. An order may be made for the enforcement in the State of notarised documents and Memoranda of Composition certified by the Courts of a foreign country on the same conditions laid down in the laws of that country for the enforcement of similar instruments issued in the State. 2. An application for an enforcement order in Clause (1) of this Article shall be requested by means of a petition submitted to the Execution Judge with the same procedures and conditions stipulated in Clause (2) of Article [222] of this Code. No order for enforcement may be made until after it has been ascertained that the conditions for the enforceability of the document or memorandum have been satisfied in accordance with the law of the country in which it was notarised or certified and that it contains nothing contrary to morals or public order in the state.' Based on the above, a divorce pronounced by your husband via voice notes over WhatsApp outside the UAE may be valid if it fulfils the tests laid down in the provisions of UAE law mentioned hereinabove. If you have a consensus on the divorce pronounced by your husband, who is outside the UAE, you may request him to obtain a notarised document confirming the contents of the voice notes over WhatsApp sent to you, if the same is a valid procedure in his home country. Thereafter, once the said document is attested by the UAE embassy in the home country of your husband, it should be attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the UAE. On completion of this procedure, you need to legally translate the divorce confirmation document mentioned above and attest it from the Ministry of Justice in the UAE. For further clarification on this matter, you may seek legal advice from a legal counsel practising in the UAE, or you may approach a Personal Status Court in the UAE to seek more clarification on this matter.

Watch: Emirati teen born with motor disability delivers heartfelt graduation speech
In a moment that blended joy with emotion, Sultan Al Aray Al-Teneiji stood as he watched his teen son, Mayed, who was born with a motor disability, take the stage and deliver a heartfelt speech at his high school graduation at Shamal Secondary in Ras Al Khaimah. For a father who had walked a long, challenging road beside his son due to his condition, this was not just a milestone. It was a triumph. "It was a feeling that can't be described," Sultan said, recalling the moment his son addressed the audience with composure and confidence. In his speech, which he called "my message", Mayed said: "This moment didn't come easy. It came with hardships, tears of patience, and the constant prayers of my mom and dad, who supported me every step of the way." "I am a student of determination. Yes, my body may be weak but my will, my abilities, and my spirit are stronger. I've learned that 'hard' doesn't mean 'impossible,' and in the end, the reward is worth every struggle," he added. Mayed went on to say: "There were moments I felt weak and even moments I felt let down but I never gave up. I kept going because I was surrounded by people who lifted me up and believed in me. The fesh graduate also sent an inspiring message to those going through hardships: "Don't lose hope. The road is tough, but the destination is beautiful. And to my friends, don't look at people of determination as different. We are just like you, maybe even stronger." 'A full-time commitment' From the moment Mayed was born, Sultan and his family faced the reality of a lifelong disability that would make everyday tasks daunting. Yet, bolstered by both financial and emotional state support, and relentless parental dedication, Mayed persevered. "The challenge wasn't easy," Sultan admitted. "But with God's grace and the incredible support from the government, we made it through." Sultan described how Mayed surprised the family by telling them, just before the graduation ceremony, that he had prepared a speech. For the father, the significance wasn't only in the academic milestone, but also in seeing his son step into society, engage, and express himself publicly. The family's daily life involved rigorous care routines. Mayed's condition required frequent physical therapy, specialised equipment, and ongoing stimulation of blood circulation due to limited mobility. "It is a full-time commitment," Sultan said. "We made sure there were regular visits from medical professionals to stimulate his circulation and strengthen his body, as he doesn't walk." Perseverance beyond academics The family's journey was made even more demanding when Mayed's younger brother, Abdullah, was diagnosed with the same condition. Yet Sultan remains hopeful, saying, "In two years, Abdullah will graduate from high school too." Sultan praised Shamal School and its principal for their flexibility and compassion. "They eased so many of the burdens, especially regarding attendance and early dismissal," he explained. "Sitting for long hours is physically painful for them, especially after surgeries on their spines. But the school adapted, letting them leave early or arrive later when needed." According to Sultan, Mayed's perseverance went far beyond academics. "Despite everything, he never said he didn't want to study. He was determined to learn, to prove to himself and others that he's capable." As for the future, Sultan said he hopes Mayed will continue his education ideally through a programme that accommodates his condition or via remote learning. "University won't be easy," Sultan admitted. Mayed needs a companion with him, whether it's in a classroom or at a technical institute. That's why we're considering remote learning because without a companion, it will be difficult for him to continue." Despite the logistical hurdles, Sultan remains hopeful and determined. "This is just the beginning for him. He's proven that he can stand in front of a crowd, tell his story, and inspire others. Whatever comes next, I know he will face it with the same courage."
